Job Description

JOIN TOWER WATER AS A TERRITORY SALES REPRESENTATIVE

Water runs through the places people rely on every day—hotels, hospitals, office buildings, manufacturing plants, and commercial facilities of all kinds. It moves quietly behind the walls and through the systems that keep those environments safe, comfortable, and operational. Most people never think about it. But when water isn’t treated properly, costs rise, equipment fails early, and serious health risks can emerge.

Behind those systems are companies like Tower Water—teams of people who make sure the water moving through cooling towers, boilers, and process equipment is treated the right way, every time. Our work protects infrastructure, reduces operating costs, and helps clients stay compliant with strict state regulations.

But what makes Tower Water different isn’t just the systems we treat. It’s the people behind the work. Many of our employees have spent decades here, growing into new roles, learning new skills, and building a company that still operates with the feel of a family business—because, in many ways, it is.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for someone who sees this role as more than a sales job—but as an opportunity to build trusted relationships and create long-term value for the clients who depend on us.

This is where you come in.

WHAT YOUR DAYS WILL ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE

This is a technical sales role with real-world impact. You’ll work directly with commercial and industrial clients—property managers, building owners, chief engineers, and plant leaders—who rely on properly treated water systems to keep their operations running safely and efficiently. Your days will center on responding to inbound leads and referrals, prospecting within your territory, evaluating systems, pricing solutions, selling annual or multi-year contracts, and ensuring each new account transitions smoothly to the service team.

You’re not expected to do everything yourself. At many water treatment companies, salespeople are also responsible for servicing accounts, delivering chemicals, and handling technical fieldwork. That’s not how Tower Water operates. Here, you’re supported by a full team, including warehouse and delivery staff, technical account managers who handle ongoing service, a compliance team that manages Legionella requirements, an office team that builds proposals, and a marketing team generating inbound leads. Your focus stays where it belongs: finding opportunities, closing new business, and expanding accounts.

As relationships grow, you’ll also unveil other one time sales such as system cleanings or new equipment. The goal is steady, sustainable territory growth built on trust, responsiveness, and strong service delivery.

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT FOR

This role is built for someone who already understands the water treatment world, or a closely related mechanical or HVAC environment, and is ready to take the next step in their career. You likely have three to four years of industry experience, a track record of closing new business, and the ability to manage your schedule independently in a field-based role. You’re comfortable with basic math, Excel, and CRM tools, and you have a clean driver’s license along with the willingness to obtain a state pesticide license.

Just as important, you take pride in doing things the right way. You follow clear processes, communicate well with both technical and non-technical contacts, and value working as part of a team. You’re curious enough to understand the mechanical side of the systems you’re selling, and you’re motivated by the idea of taking on more responsibility, more ownership, and a clearer path forward in the industry.

LOCATION

This is a field-based role covering the New York metro area, including all five boroughs, along with upstate New York within roughly a 100-mile radius. You’ll work from home, in the field, and occasionally from one of our offices, but this is not a sit-behind-the-desk position. Most of your time will be spent visiting client sites, evaluating systems, and building relationships face-to-face.

Benefits

COMPENSATION

Compensation is designed to provide strong stability upfront, with significant upside as your territory grows.

You’ll start on a $140,000 base salary while you build your book of business. Once your territory reaches a consistent recurring revenue run rate, the plan transitions to a base-plus-commission structure designed to reward long-term growth. Commission rates increase as recurring revenue grows, with top performers earning well into the $200K+ range as their territory scales.

The structure is simple in philosophy: strong earnings stability while you build, then meaningful upside tied directly to the recurring revenue you create.

BENEFITS

Tower Water believes a strong company starts with healthy, supported people, and the benefits reflect that mindset. Along with a 401(k) with company match, health and dental insurance with strong employer contributions, pretax benefit options, employer-paid life insurance, employer-paid short-term disability insurance, paid time off based on tenure, paid holidays, and company-funded training and certifications, the company also invests in the day-to-day well-being of its team.

This year, Tower Water provided employees the option to receive a WHOOP health and performance monitor along with a one-year membership. The goal wasn’t to track people, but to help them improve sleep, manage stress, and build healthier routines. More than seventy percent of the company chose to participate, creating a shared wellness community where coworkers encourage one another and celebrate progress together.

The benefits are shaped by real experiences, too. Years ago, when a team member faced a serious health challenge, ownership stepped in and created a company-sponsored gap insurance program to help bridge the difference between disability pay and normal income. That program still exists today, reflecting a simple belief: take care of the people who take care of the clients.

JOIN US

Tower Water is a family-founded company, and that influence still shapes how the business operates today. The owners are brothers, and at one point their mother worked at the company as well. Over time, the organization has grown from six employees to more than fifty, but the culture has remained personal. Of the original six employees, five are still with the company today. Some have grown into new roles, others into leadership, and some have stayed in the same position for decades because they genuinely enjoy the work. All of those paths are respected here.

From the first day, new hires feel that difference. Every employee goes to breakfast with two of the owners on their first day, setting the tone that leadership is accessible and involved. The president still goes into the field when technical or relationship challenges arise, and the CEO regularly joins team meetings. This is not a company where leadership disappears once the org chart is built.

If you’re in the water treatment industry and ready for a role where your work matters, your leadership is accessible, and the people around you actually care, Tower Water may feel very different from the companies you’ve worked for before.

EEOC

Tower Water is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by law.
